I just spent the time to check my other K3 ... its AM power is 
also in the 22-25 watt range across HF (20 Watts on 6M).  I have 
TXG VCE set to +1 dB on s/n 622 (factory assembled) and +0.5 dB 
on s/n 1450 (kit).  TXG VCE is set to make the PEP output on SSB 
as measured on an LP-100 the same as the CW power measured on 
the same meter.  

If I reset TXG VCE to 0.0 dB, the AM carrier power drops 2 
to 3 watts depending on the radio and the SSB PEP is 10 to 15 
watts low.

I don't know ... it seems to work properly here.  If you elect 
to not make it global, it may be necessary to provide separate 
TXG settings for voice (SSB), AM and AFSK A/DATA A (DTA) ... or 
at least SSB/Data and AM.
